A man named Jerome Richardson has come forward.
He says he was a partner of Don Lemon in the planning and then storming of the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn. (St. Paul is adjacent to Minneapolis and they often are called the “Twin Cities.”)
If true, that destroys Lemon’s defense that he is an innocent journalist who happed to come upon a church invasion, and was just reporting on it.
Just exercising his First Amendment right of a free and open press.
My brain just can’t comprehend the idea that the “canonized” Lemon would lie to me... to us... to the American people about his role in this Ku Klux Klan-type crime —interfering with peaceful church worshipers on a Sunday morning.
Don’t you think it is unimaginable that Lemon would be a principal in the planning and execution of this crime?
Any trust between him and his defense attorney must have been destroyed, after the public announcement that Lemon was a reporter just doing his job.
Lemon has made a fool out of his attorney. You never lie to your attorney.
Lemon (a former CNN anchor) now — if the story is to be believed — is not a reporter, but a criminal creating the news.
Could Lemon be whoring himself in an effort to sell a story based upon TDS?
Has he become an insurrection leader planning, then actively executing the demise of a lawfully elected United States government?
It appears he is taking advantage of both ideas — making money and overthrowing the government.
Is so, Lemon has shown himself to be nothing but an insurrectionist whore suffering from TDS.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As for Daily Planet columnist Roger Buckner’s reference to Jerome Richardson, AI Overview noted that, as of Feb. 7, “Jerome Deangelo Richardson is a 21-year-old student activist from Minnesota and Temple University freshman who was arrested by federal agents in early 2026. He is charged with conspiracy to interfere with religious rights for his role in an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church, during which he assisted journalist Don Lemon with logistics... He is the executive director of Minnesota Teen Activists, a group he helped lead from a young age, focusing on issues like police accountability and social justice... He was arrested in February 2026 following a Jan. 18, 2026, protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., which aimed to oppose a pastor with ties to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)... Richardson was indicted along with others, including Don Lemon, on federal charges related to disrupting religious services. He has maintained his actions were intended to expose federal injustices... This individual is distinct from the late American jazz musician Jerome Richardson (1920–2000)... Richardson has called for support against what he terms an ‘oppressive system’ and is actively fighting the federal charges... (He) has been a prominent youth leader (in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area ) since the 2020 George Floyd protests...”
Also, in his column, Buckner made reference to “TDS,” which is an acronym for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
